There are few professions with as much mystique and misconceptions as that of professional dancing. A lot of non-dancers simply do not understand this lifestyle and all that it entails. The life of a dancer is an interesting topic.
There is a world-famous saying. Practice makes perfect. While the idea of perfection might be out of reach for some, if not all, of us, this maxim can still apply to most professions. Practice is hugely important for anyone interested in being good enough at his job to excel. If that job involves performing in front of thousands of people, this is doubly important.
Practice is usually not enough in order to be truly great, however. For that to happen, one must have a base level of aptitude that can jump-start a career. Everyone can spend hours upon hours learning to paint, but some people will simply never be good. They do not have the necessary skills innate within them. Natural talent should not be ignored, and some people should take the hint and move on to another hobby or profession.
A good dancer will be able to bend his or her body in a variety of ways. This is called flexibility, and it is quite important. People may spend days on end training their bodies to bend just a little further. Not every person comes out of the womb being able to do the splits, but that goal is attainable to most of us.
There are plenty of movies about dancing, but those seldom show the toil and turmoil of the process itself. In many of these films, the main characters simply start dancing, with no practice at all, unless of course there is a quick practice montage in the middle of the movie. These movies gloss over what it means to fine tune your craft.
Much like cinematic movies, music videos on television usually do not show the full range of dance. They are edited choppily, leaving many dance moves unnoticed or under-seen. To make matters worse, they only show a few moves over and over. There is very little ballroom dance, or modern, or jazz, or any number of types and styles. Mostly, these videos showcase hip hop, which is a very specific niche.
Dancing can be a lot of fun, because it allows people to move their bodies in a variety of challenging and interesting ways. It is great exercise. Just look at the body of a typical person in the dancing profession, and you will see muscles that you did not even know humans had. It is a great way to sculpt your muscles while doing what you love.
There are plenty of reasons to dance, but a particularly important one is the recognition from adoring fans. People will marvel at your abilities, and that will surely feel rewarding.
For many people, the life of a dancer is unobtainable and out of reach. For some people, it is quite undesirable, but for those with the right attitude and the willingness to work at it, this can be a rewarding and surprising profession.
